The Communist Party of Sharifistan draw attention to the Sharifistani Communist "martyrs" brutally tortured to death by Kyundao's soldiers. It uses the Arabic word "Shahid" to describe the Communists who died. It says "We will go to war with Kyundao and prosecute the men responsible for war crimes, using an all-volunteer Army".
This increases support for the Communists in the polls and increases votes.

Madinat Al-Islam, Sultanate of Sharifistan
Captain Ahmed Khalid Hussein Pathan, Distinguished Gallantry Medal, Bachelor of Science gives a speech
"My life started off the same as the average Sharifistani worker, born in the City of Industry, my dad was a bricklayer and my mum struggle to get by on my dad's income, joined the infantry at 16 with a promise of fighting for Sultan and homeland and a promise of becoming a real man. Saw some my brothers die on the battefield so that rich men could get richer, won medals for saving the lives of others. Other great young men!
Became a NCO. After that I got lucky. Got a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Master of Military Science, got promoted to Captain. But I also studied Marx, and through Marx I identified the problem: the landlords!
Islam has the cure to this problem but it can only be carried out in true workers' state! Vote for me and let the landlords see they need to give power to the people!"
People cheer at this.
